HI @lady35 and welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your story! It must be so relieving to have found some relief from the surgery.

I think your story would be something that @jakedduck1 @crstyday40 @boston2mayo and @patrassi would love to hear.

Have you been feeling any side affects from the heavy doses of medicine?

I'm 35 started when I was 15, I've been on every epilepsy medication these were the last 3 I had never been on and still none work alone. Lamictal gives me a rash at 200mg 2x daily and higher but I can take lower doses, I'm on 150 instead and feel the rash but barely noticeable they really want me to stay on it if I'm willing. I personally don't have any side effects of any other medication but no benefits either, they don't help prevent migraines, seizures, etc. Making me drowsy would nice since I seemed to only be able to sleep because I was having frequent seizures during sleep now due to the surgery I almost never sleep because I'm not having as many even with ambien. I've been a difficult case 4 different seizures types, 3 different hospitals as I grew the seizures did too
